Hello Everyone! I have a friend in Germany who wants to buy a rental property in Memphis, TN. He doesn't know how to go about filing for an ITIN or creating an LLC. Does anyone know a good CPA who could offer him these services?
It is really important to work with professionals that have worked with foreign investors before. A couple of my partners are foreign investors. DM me and I can send you over the tax professionals and attorneys they use in the USA.
There are a lot of tax considerations when foreigners look to invest in the USA.
Do they need to apply for an ITIN? Do they need to file a US & State tax return every year? Do they need to look into the US-Germany Tax Treaty? Do they need to worry about FIRPTA upon sale of US Real Estate? Do they need to worry about Estate taxation if they pass away while owning real estate in the US?
